Pulled from 300+ public datasets (USDA, CDC, FBI, YouTube, and more), calculated with real Pearson coefficients, and served up for your endless amusement. WHAT YOU GET: - Thousands of absurd correlations, updated regularly - Real data from trusted government and public sources - Save favorites, share with friends who appreciate statistical nonsense - Create your own correlations from 300+ datasets - Learn why correlation never means causation - Ad-free version available via in-app purchase PERFECT FOR: - Data nerds who appreciate beautiful nonsense - Teachers explaining "correlation vs causation" - Friends who need better arguments at dinner parties - Anyone who finds humor in statistical absurdity - Reddit browsers (you probably got here from r/dataisbeautiful) WHY SPURIOUS EXISTS: We are pattern-matching creatures trapped in a world containing approximately seventeen million meaningless correlations. Spurious catalogs the funniest ones. Each correlation includes a Pearson coefficient (how strongly they track), the time period, the data sources, and sometimes a commentary explaining why the universe is probably laughing at us.
